Michael Lannon, a superintendent in St. Lucie County, Fla., claims his planned sex-ed curriculum — Get Real About AIDS — promotes abstinence.
But Pastor Bryan Longworth argues that the graphic, explicit content mentions condoms and contraceptives 210 times, while only mentioning abstinence 17 times.
Linda Klepacki, sexual health analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said abstinence-only education is the healthiest choice for young people.
“It continues to become more dangerous for pre-teens and teens to be sexually active," she said. "It is irresponsible for professionals to encourage anyone of school age to be sexually active.”
Concerned parents can attend a public forum Dec. 8 to discuss the controversial curriculum.
